3. Should your horse happen to win, present your betting ticket to the bookmaker, check your winnings.

PLAY SMARTER

Race Summary: Though up 11lb for his Kempton chase debut success, BRIEF AMBITION looked good that day and he should have little trouble in again dispatching with Ballinsker, who was well behind the selection at Kempton and hasn’t shown much of an aptitude for this game so far. Silver Star is 0-7 over fences and looks set for another struggle starting out for a new yard.

Race Summary: OUR IDIC BOY is a sizeable gelding who’s showing the benefit of a very patient approach and confirmed his reappearance promise when off the mark in good style at Newcastle on Thursday. Effectively only 5lb higher here under a penalty, he’s taken to follow up at the main expense of fellow-penalised winner Top Man, who took advantage of his reduced mark when seeming suited by this trip at Plumpton.

Race Summary: MAGIC DANCER has taken really well to fences and is weighted to record a second victory from three starts here off a 4lb lower mark than when an excellent runner-up at Uttoxeter. Onthefrontfoot arrives in very good order too though so should ensure Kerry Lee’s 9-y-o doesn’t have things all his own way. Bathiva also enters calculations in an interesting handicap chase.

VIEWING ON COURSE

Would all patrons please note that while any race is in progress no person is allowed on the course except Racecourse Ground Staff and First Aid Attendants. All other persons must stay behind the running rails. THIS INCLUDES OWNERS, TRAINERS, JOCKEYS, PRESS and PHOTOGRAPHERS.

OFFICIAL BHA RATINGS

The BHA Handicappers allot ratings to horses once they have taken part in a sufficient number of races to enable the Handicappers to make a numerical assessment of each horse’s ability.

The principal purpose of the ratings is to determine the weight to be carried by each runner in handicap races, with the Handicappers aiming to provide each participant with an equal chance based on its best recent form under its optimum conditions. A horse rated 100, for example, would be set to carry 1lb more than a horse rated 99 (ignoring any penalties or allowances).

The ratings published in the racecard for handicap races are the ratings that were used to calculate the weight to be carried by each horse, whilst in non-handicap races the rating shown is that of each runner at the time that the entries for the race were confirmed. Any subsequently published change to a rating, either up or down, is shown in brackets following the rating.

For novice steeple chasers, the latest hurdle race rating may be shown until such time as the Handicappers allot a separate steeple chase rating. Such ratings are prefixed by the letter h.

You can become a friend of Racing Welfare by donating as little as £5 per month

“For every horse that appears on a racecourse, there is a large group of individuals that have made it happen. They are not in the limelight, but they are totally dedicated to their work. When these people face difficulties in their lives, they need somewhere to turn, and Racing Welfare is there for each and every one of them.”

- HRH The Princess Royal President of Racing Welfare

Your £5 a month will allow a retired beneficiary to meet up with old friends and reminisce about their time in the racing industry.

Your £60 over the course of the year will allow a retired couple to attend one of our special day trips to attend a raceday, the theatre or to the seaside.
